1. It just needs a "schedule" function, where you can set it to turn on automatically between 8pm and 7am, Monday through Friday (or whatever you want to set it to.) However, if you forget to turn it off and you had the brightness set very low for low-light conditions, and then go to a bright-light situation, and your phone is locked, you won't be able to see the numbers on your screen to enter your pass code.I wish there was a way to change the brightness of the home key panel and push notifications.
2. Would recommendUnfortunately, it doesn't affect the lock screen, the notification area, Quick Panel, or button bar—but apparently Google has prevented apps from doing this for "security"—so till phone makers realize their displays don't dim enough, it seems like apps like this are the best we can hope for.
3. Even with the brightness on my phone and this app turned all the way to the lowest settings, in a completely dark room or an airplane at night, the home keys across the bottom if the screen or push notifications & clock are not covered by this app.
4. It defeats the purpose if the whole screen isnt covered as your eye is naturally drawn to tge super bright keys on the screen.Works well but one issue is the nav bar at the bottom of the screen remains a bright blinding white colour.
5. Other apps have the option of choosing what apps to draw over which enables them to draw over the edges of the screen.
6. This one would be much easier to use if just its slider appeared when you adjusted it, rather than covering the whole screen and making us guess how much we were dimming what we were actually going to see.Simple app, works well at dimming the screen very low.
7. However, on my most recent Galaxy, although I have the "draw over apps" slider on, it's not drawing over the top and bottom edge of the the phone.
8. It doesn't darken the navigation bar, notifications panel, nor the edge screen on Galaxy S8.
9. When I booted the app the first time on my device (Samsung S20), the bottom and top of the screen wasn't affected.
10. Unlike every other app ive tried, the second I open this one, the default Brightness slider on my phone's quick tab pull-down menu completely disappears.
11. It can be hard to find the stop button when the sun comes up and the screen is dim.Great application.
